| Quotes: |
- (On William Petersen): Billy is very enigmatic. One day you think you know him, then the next day you realize you don’t.
- (on her character being drugged and abducted) I thought that was an interesting idea, to have a criminalist – someone who’s always watching her back and always hip to suspicious behavior – have that happen to her.
- (on what she’ll miss when she’s done on CSI) I’ve always liked shooting in Vegas, it’s such a character. It’s so visually stimulating.
- (on wanting romance for her character) I keep telling the producers I’d love to have a relationship. We do a lot of cerebral work on the show playing opposite a swab or a computer screen. I’d much rather play opposite someone like Gary Dourdan – he’s not bad at all! It would be great because it would give my character the opportunity to show a few more colors – her passionate side, or intimate side or vulnerable side.
- (on whether Gil and Catherine will ever get together) I doubt it will be any kind of an intimate relationship. We always will have some closeness, but I think we have just a marriage of the minds, the two of us, and he’s great to work with. A bit of yin and yang in that relationship, for sure.
